About: I've been a dog lover forever and got my first family dog when I was 12. I have since become his primary owner. Since 15, I've assisted my older brother with dog sitting through Rover, and by 17, I started caring for dogs on my own for family and friends. Whether watching them at their home or bringing them to mine, I provide reliable, loving care for your furry companions. I work part time from home as a writing tutor at CSUN, where I am also a full time student on campus Tuesday to Thursday. In my home, your pets will enjoy a safe, secure environment with a fenced back yard featuring sturdy gates and tall walls, ensuring they can roam freely and safely. The front yard is also fully enclosed with an electric gate for added security. If your dog is accustomed to crate training, I can accommodate that as long as a crate is provided. In addition, I also have a pool on the property. I ensure the pool area is safely monitored to prevent any accidents, and only dogs that are comfortable around water are allowed freely around it. I prioritize comfort, safety, and fun for every pet in my care!

About: I may be new to pet sitting professionally, but I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Growing up with three dogs at home and visiting my grandma’s four, I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. I’ve also spent time with friends’ dogs and as a child, helped stray dogs. What sets me apart is that I take time to form a bond with each dog, respecting their boundaries from the very start. I believe every dog is unique and should feel safe and comfortable, so I focus on building trust and understanding their individual needs and personalities. I will also carefully follow the owner's guidelines and requests to ensure your pet's routine is maintained, providing you peace of mind while you're away. Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays: 9:00-11:00 pm/1:00-6:00pm Saturdays and Sundays: 8:00-7:00 pm But please feel free to reach out and we can arrange a time that works for both of us ❤️🐶🐱 When caring for pets at home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe and soothing environment where they feel relaxed and happy. I follow any specific instructions provided and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and mental stimulation. I always respect their boundaries and ensure they feel secure and well cared for. During walks, I maintain a comfortable pace that suits the dog's energy and needs. I keep them on a secure leash and pay close attention to their behavior, adjusting as needed. Whether they want to explore or take it slow, I’m always mindful of their comfort and safety.
